Oh, sorry, I didn't see the "Female" thing. I've never heard of a woman talking about fisting either. It seems to be a gay activity, and even then only a very tiny minority of gay men. It's one of those sex acts you either like or are disgusted at the very thought.

Hi there, fisting isn't a well-known phenomenon in general. I only had one guy fist me partially and it was uncomfortable; actually, it was downright painful and my partner didn't want to stop. I do not like it. Fisting is probably better known (if not practiced) in same-sex couples, though. I tend to hear it more in lesbian couples than in gay male copules, though I'm unclear of the prevalance of fisting in straight couples. With straight couples, I think it's usually vaginal fisting. Also, I think generally fisting is not with a closed fist exactly, the hand usually goes in as elongated fingers (loosely held, not tight). The fingers can close more (as a full fist or not) once inside.
Fisting should also be done with latex gloves, not just because of STD issues, but also as somebody put it, hangnails and related. When fisting, the vagina or anus is very vulnerable to things like a sharp or pointed nail, hangnails, rough skin, etc. Lubed latex can make up for most if not all such things. If planning to fist, the fister should definitely get a really good, careful manicure. Very short nails are optimum.
Also, from what I hear, be careful when fisting the vagina, be extremely careful if she orgasms. The vaginal muscles during contraction can be very intense. Do NOT try to yank your hand out during the orgasm; don't panic. Just leave it in passively if you must until she stops orgasming. She could get hurt during the process, but believe it or not, you hand (or fingers) can also be hurt during the process, too.
Many consider fisting a very advance sexual technique because it can be injurious, as well as painful, if done incorrectly.
